Description

Written in the voices of two gay men - an Australian tourist and a Singaporean local - Excess Baggage and Claim shines with a bright lucidity. What makes this book so startling is not that these poems about difficult self-discovery are sometimes shocking, but that they rise out of darkness, and a sense of dislocation, with such tenderness and courage. This is an extraordinary collection of poetry - a masterful collaboration by Singapore Literature Prize winner Cyril Wong and Australian poet Terry Jaensch.
